VN Ren'Py Summer's Gone [S1 Steam + DLC] [Oceanlab]

[wizardcock]

I used to do that but there's been a lot of news given on discord that have been re-posted here about the steam process that weren't posted on his patreon page. It's been like that for multiple games so yeah I skim through the pages hoping there's some new info. The playful banter and the memes are fun too. The constant shit posts and arguing about if Ocean is milking the game or not is BS. Like go complain to Ocean directly on his discord or on his patreon. What good will come out of flooding the thread with your complaint's that nobody cares about ? It's crazy that I'm the weird one for wanting to keep this shit out of the thread. We ALL want the game to come out ASAP...

not addressed to you in particular, just explaining why I go through the thread and why the nonsense is a pain

They complain about Ocean - it's useless. You complain about those who flood - same thing.
Add stoicism to your view: the only real power we have is the power over how we react to what happens.

I don't want to join discord, I discovered the game here, I follow it here and I'd like to buy it in steam once it comes out. The thread will only change from beta to full once it's leaked and ain't nobody got time for that.

If nobody on the last 3-5 pages is talking about any news then there's either no news or the news are boring

He has also stated it before at least once (that I remember) that he renders in 4k and then downscales it to 1080p for release.

Also, this is the first post I've seen regarding this topic. You said everyone is worried, do you mind sharing some pictures containing comments or posts to that effect?

What a naive person, he believes in everything he is told. Although maybe I'm wrong and you can show us these wonderful pictures with improved quality? Because I haven't seen any.

Wrong, 4k does show up better on even lower resolution displays compared to native 1080p multimedia. Look up chroma subsampling.

Are you seriously comparing a video shot on camera and a render made using a program? Man, this is very stupid. First, figure out the topic of the conversation, and then get involved. I laughed for several minutes and couldn't stop.

A great game with good story. No good to fap, yet, but i really got absorved be the drama. Loving it. Keep the good work, dev.

Me with my 12 ignored for 2 years,

I've only blocked two and to be honest I think they were bots.

this image is rendered in 1920x1080 resolution

this one is rendered in 3840x2160 resolution


if you can't see the difference between the quality and details of those images then you're fucking blind and should see an eye doctor instead of talking shit

I will disappointed if we dont get a scene with Nadia where we use a banana on her instead of our fingers when we finally do get lewd scenes

When Nadia offers to bring a 6 pack to the barn party...



Cheers!!

He's just farming likes.

13 people don't give a shit lol.

because they are just like him, the only real power in this world he and them have is to block on this website , its a power trip and ego thing, he and them get a sense of making a differnce in someones life by blocking them and getting likes ,if someone had real power they would go out there in the world and change it, blocking people is the only thing that he and them can do to anyone in this world that they get a reaction from because in the real world they don't matter, this website is the only place they have a sense of belonging.

About that, what is supposed to happen in the next update ? Ayua training ? barn party ?

as long as it isn't DnD i'll be happy. But I'd assume Ayua training , Victoria date at least heard there should be a Mila one at some point not sure didn't play her path yet so maybe that. id guess it would end at the barn party or at the Cabin therapy session.

Damn looking at this doesnt seem there be much room for Bella content in the next update

I don't mind D&D, I liked how it worked the first time if we get some Sonya scenes will be even better. But I am not sure about the dates, both Vic and Mila I think is further up the week, I am not even sure if they set a date to it, more inclined to think Ayua and barn, maybe some Zara training, and belive that Bella metioned a study session in Ch5 so there is some hope. For some reason I think that the Cabin Trip is end of S2.

It's rendered in 4k and THEN downscaled to 1080 which gives the 1080 file more detail.... the file it self is not 4k. It's not hard to understand this, other dev's do this same process on there AVNs

*Loud laughter* Listen man, do you even realize that you just took a really big shit? Both of these pictures are made in 1920x1080 resolution. If you think that the more beautiful the picture, the higher its resolution, then it doesn’t work that way.

you are a perfect example of a fool playing smart

the second image is rendered in 3840x2160 resolution. due to the file size it is resized during post work to 1920x1080

and no resizing the image from 4k to 1920x1080 is not the same as rendering in such a resolution. if you don't understand it now you never will

 

[BobTheDuck]

Yeah I used to like discord when I used to play mmo's but outside of that it's annoying and feels like a second job to keep up with the servers you are interested especially when there is a decent size community like the Summer's Gone one. So while I may join a server here and there I really only pay attention to it if it it's smaller in scale otherwise way to much work so yeah I dont like discord most of the time either anymore lol.

Easiest way to use discord for info is to search for the dev's posts by user name. That way you can filter out all the users flirting with each other. Any important news will be in the bibi news section, or a dev log though, and both get here quickly enough.

Everything is written there correctly, but the problem is that Ocean doesn’t do it that way.

If you noticed, Ocean draws the characters very well; they turn out stunningly beautiful. But he doesn’t care about the background on which these characters are located, because this background will be blurred and its quality will deteriorate even more. And it turns out that a well-drawn character looks even better against a blurred background. For all this work, compression from 4k to full HD is not required, because everything is blurry except the characters.

But it is required to create photorealistic renders. There, not only the characters are well drawn like Ocean’s, but also the background. The result is a great picture without blur. Unfortunately Ocean doesn't make such renderings.

"You're just a genius", you've made yourself look like an idiot once again. Can you tell me why Ocean would render a blurry picture in 4k and then compress it? It’s much easier to immediately render in full HD, and spend 4 times less time on it.

And finally the most fun...
How did you determine that the second image was taken in 4k and then compressed?

He always speaks about himself using the plural pronoun 'we', but in reality, he only refers to himself.

Maybe he is royality.

Ok... What the hell is going on!?!?

I see several pages of a lot of random discussions and in fighting when I am not here.

Did I miss the fun and chaos amd trolling? Had there been any relevant news? I left minion number 9 in charge of supervising but there was a person making reflections with a mirror and he gets distracted by shining objects.

But you believe Ocean as long as he say something you can latch on to and whinge about in the forums? The dissonance is unreal.

As for the other stuff, you are wrong because Ocean has been doing treats and previews for a while now and they're exclusively done in 4k.

an album of the S2 previews (in 4k):

And

is a preview he posted for Chapter 4. In guess what resolution?

In case you couldn't figure out what that means, he's been rendering the game in 4k the entire time, like he said.

Or you could choose to believe that he has been planning this conspiracy for years and is only rendering the chapter previews in 4k, and the rest of the game in 1080p, just so that he could lie to everyone about it in the future

Are you seriously comparing a video shot on camera and a render made using a program? Man, this is very stupid. First, figure out the topic of the conversation, and then get involved. I laughed for several minutes and couldn't stop.

Are you aware that chroma subsampling applies for all video and not just camera footage? That includes animations too. Also, downsampling as a whole works for both video and images, which is why I used the term multimedia. Did you actually play the game or did you just forget that it has animations too?

Says the guy:

- who can't, or wan't to see a difference between 4K, and an AI generated 1024*768 picture.

- who can't, or wan't to see a difference in the amount of memory and specification between RTX 20X0 and RTX 6000 Ada GPU, and he is adamant that the performance difference doesn't matter.

Oh boy! If I had said or written as much BS like you have in the past months, I would have taken a vow of silence a long time ago.
